The Pencil Skirt has been a staple to looking sleek and stylish for years. It’s considered a staple because it can be dressed for the office with a crisp button-down shirt, styled for a  night out with an embellished top and blazer, or dressed down for an afternoon out shopping with a v-neck t-shirt and comfortable flats.

Which bring us to out next staple item: comfortable flats. Sure, heels are great, but lets be real, flats are better. Flats are great because you can pretty much wear them with anything and still look great. And there are so many varieties in the style, that you can basically have a pair for any occasion.

Another staple item is a day dress. Women really don’t wear dresses like they used to in the 50s and back. Nowadays we tend to reserve dresses for special occasions or view them as evening wear. But it’s nice, and comfortable, to have a casual day dress to wear if you’re sick of the jeans and t-shirt look.
